OCIA

Interested in learning more about the Catholic faith?

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is primarily for adults and older children who are not baptized and wish to join the Catholic Church. It is used as an initiation process for people who have been baptized in other Christian denominations who are interested in becoming Catholic.

Each person going through the process will need a sponsor, someone who is already a fully initiated, practicing Catholic, to journey with them. Sponsors are encouraged, but not required, to attend sessions.
